A Frightful Accident.

Yesterday afternoon as Charlie
Meyer, aged nineteen years, who j.
employed a. delivery clerk at Meyel
I Bro. 8 Grand Central, was mounting
his horse preparatory 10 going on al
errand, the animal became frightened
in some manner and threw young
Meyer, his foot catching in the stir
rup. This only added TO the alarm OF
the animal which started up Ohio
street at rapid pace dragging the
unfortunate young man under Its
feet. Although passers endeavored
TO stop the horse they did not succeed
until he had reached Fifth street and
turned east when he was caught in
front of Dalby's wholesale store. Mr..
Meyer was extricated and carried to
Fletcheis drug store where i. was
found that he was most horribly man.
gled and bruised. His right arm
was itteraly torn to a jelly and his
whole body was mass of bruises. The
most serious injury. however, was
about his head which was badly
beaten and bruised and a terrible con-
cussion and confusion above the right
temple indicated probably the most
fatal injury. He Was cared for as
well as possible until a stretcher
could be procured, when he was con-
veyed to the house of parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Chris Meyer, corner of
Fourteenth and Lamine streets. Dr's.
Trader, Evans, Overstreet and others
who were at the drug store, expressed
the opinion that there was little prob
ability of his surviving until morning
from what they could judge in the
hasty and unsatisfactory examination
at that time.
Young Meyers is about 10 years of
age and was much liked
by his employers and is popular
among the young folks. He has been

AFTER THE PAPERS.
g. Y. Smith, of Kansas City, on
His Dignity Regarding the
Published Scandal.

The Kansas City Times of yesterday
has the following, which looks like
business for the courts and lawyers
1.-The noon train from St. Joseph
yesterday brought down several thou
sand copies of the Herald of that city,
which were Immediately put in the
hands Of newsboys and sent broadcast
over the city. The occasion for this
most marvellous piece of enterprise on
the part of the Herald was the publ
cation on its first page of a half
column article concerning Mr.. g. Y.
Smith, the well-known dry goods
merchant of this city. The article
was decidedly sensational and stated
in effect that Mr.. Smith had been
caught in the Coates house by his
wife in the room of Mrs. Lusby, one
of the dressmakers employed at his
establishment, and a scene followed
in which Mr.. Smith and Mrs. Lusby
were assaulted by Mrs. Smith and
both severely punished. The papers
were hawked about the business streets
al the afternoon and gathered up
with considerable avidity.
Last evening a reporter Of the
Times met Mr.. Smith and obtained
the following statement from him:
The article in the st. Joseph Her.
aid is a tissue of falsehOods from be-
ginning to end, and without particle |
of truth to base it upon. 1t is |
scsndalous lot of dirty lies from be-
ginning to end and without one word |
of truth in it: NV first intimation OF |
anything of the kind was in reading
the article, which was wantonly |
brought here among my own people |
and my friends and scattered broad
cast. am the least sufferer In the |
case, and the article will cause greater
trouble than mine TO the other Inno-
cent people mentioned in it. | have
consulted legal advice and have deci-
ded to bring suit Immediately against
the editors of the paper for criminal
libel. 1 will also bring an immediate
action for damages in civil suit against
them and will leave for St. Joseph
early in the morning to confer with
firm of lawyers there whom | have
by wire. | telegraphed to
the Herald tonight of my intention.
| denounce the whole thing as a ia
IRRIGATION of damnable and diabolical
lies, without truth and reason, and
propose to see if they can SANDER
man and his family without cause"
The scandal was offered the BAzoo
from Kansas City and it refused to
publish the story, whether true or
false. The Sedalia Democrat, the
organ of bOycotters and scandal mon i
gers jumped at it and produced the
st. Joseph Herald story and it ap- I
oeared In that paper ON the morning {
# 18th inst. Possibly Hayrake Cray +
roft may now know how swe ct it is a

nch prominent ps,t 10 getting the E

nent. The BAzoo manager would a
ather be indicted for lottery advertise q
no than for criminal libel.

A SERIOUS SHOOTING.
Charlie Schmidt, of Warsaw,
Again Plays the Role of q
Desperate.
He Meets His Match However,
And is Probably MOrtally
Wounded.

The readers of the BAzoo have more
than once been made familiar with
the name of Chas. Schmidt, well-to-
do German residing in Warsaw and
who is owner and proprietor of a
large brick hotel at that place,
Schmidt, though q good heartt d fel-
low in general, is yet possessed of some
very unpleasant traits of character,
which have been the means of making
him unpopular, and getting him into
more than one difficulty which led to
a noteriety of rather undesirable
kind. One of his leading
characteristics is strong disposition
tn suspect evil intentions and motives
of those with whom he comes in con-
tact, which leads him to a jealousy
and ofensiveness altogether unbear-
able. Mr.. Schmidt is the father of
three daughters, all of whom have
more than once incurred bis displeas
ure because of the attentions of young
men to them, and at times this dis
position has led to serious difficulty,
and has resulted In talk and gossip
anything but favorable to his girls,
all of whom are possessed of a mOder-
ate share of attractiveness. Not long
since one of them ran away from home
on account of difficulty of this kind
add there came very near being a
shooting scrape over the matter.
1T is THE OLD STORY
that led to yesterdays affair. In
Warsaw resides VIM. Robbins. with |
his mother, who is a widow lady. |
William is by occupation a barber,
and at one time worked in Sedalia but
of late has worked in Warsaw at the
shops of Mr.. Humphreys. Just wheth.
er William was paying his addresses
In person to one of Schmidt's daugh-
tiers or acting as go-between for an
other party, the BAzoo's informant was
unable to state, but however it was,
William has been carrying letters and
messages to the young lady in ques-
ton, or is at least SO charged by the
irate pater families, and not long
since he gave the young man a severe
overhauling, later Schmidt claimed
the offense had been repeated and
openly vowed his intention of killing
young Robbins on sight. The latter
heard fit,
ARMED HIMSELF
and as the saying is, kept his
weather eye open. Yesterday {
about $50 o'clock, Schmidt
md Robbins encountered each other
On the street, when qnarrel ensued
which eliminated In shooting match. ]
It is said that Schmidt drew his re-
7olver and fired first, missing Rob- G
pins, who Immediately drew his T
Weapon and shot Schmidt in the 3
breast, the ball passing through the
ung and liver. Schmidt was quickly {
to his home and medical aid
vas summoned, while Robbins was
.rrested and locked up. d
Yesterday evening Schmidt's condi- v
ion was considered precarious, and
'ut little hope is entertained for his e
ecovery. e
Public sentiment seems to be with | n
Robbins, who is young man of about
2 years of age, and who has the [
equation of being quiet and peace p
bly, disposed. o
1t is generally admitted that
chmidt was the aggressor, and that {
be shooting by Robbins was in self b
efense.

II. M. $. S. MaripOsa.

The Oceanic COmpany's Royal Mail
steamer Mariposa arrived shortly before
ten o'clock yesterday morning from San
Francisco, after a fine run of days 4
hours 80 minutes. She left San Francis
co February 18th at :55 a. m, and ex-
perienced moderate NV. winds the first
four days; since then moderate Sc.
winds Passed the Zealandia February
18th at p. m. The Mariposa was de-
ia ned in San Francisco owing to the
blockade of the railroads about two hun
dred and fifty miles from that city by the
storm. The San Francisco "Alta" OF
February 18th says:
By the terms of the contract with the
Government of New Zealand the mail
agent in this city is authorized to order any
steamer delayed for seven days in case of
the nOn-arrival of the Australian mails.
For the first thirty-six hours the contract
ors get no rebate, but for each hours delay
afterwards the New Zealand Government
pays $25. If the Mariposa sails this after
noon she will have been detained eighty-siI
hours, and her owners will be entitled to
receive 81, 80. But this sum will be of
moderate service, as they have kept the
ship under steam and sailing orders since
Saturday. Besides, they will be under the
necessity of crowding the good ship the
whole trip to make up for lost
time, and during the time of loading and
unloading at Auckland and Sydney extra
men will have to be employed, so that the
work can go on day and night. This last
part requires double pay for the men. II
the mail should be delayed beyond seven
days the local agent can do nothing until
he hears from the Home Government by
cable.
Her cargo was valued at 81, O64, di-
vided as follows: Australia, $40,881
| Honolulu, $23, $50; New Zealand, s., 1874
Fiji, 81, isl.
The Mariposa brought forty-one cabin
and twenty-eight steerage passengers foI
this port, and had quite a number in
! transit.
After taking on passengers and the
mails, the Mariposa left for the Colonies
at half-past six o'clock last evening.

Trademark Case.

Some time since an action was
brought in Brussels against English
dealers in extract of meat, to prevent
them from using the Gitle OF "Baron
Liebig's Extract" or from placing the
photograph of the late Baron Justus Won
Liebig on their jars or in any way using
the name or title OF Baron Liebig The
action was brought by the Liebig's Ex-
tract of Meat Company, and was sue
cessful. The English dealers thereupon
took the case into the Court of Appeal.
The Judgment was given last week, con-
firming the decision of the Tribunal of
Commerce and condemning the English
dealers, who were defendants in the
action, to pay damages and also re-
straining them from making any further
use of the name of Liebig or Baron Lie
big, or of the photograph, this right be-
ing declared to be the exclusive prop
erty Of the Liebig's Extract Of Meat

THE LATE PRINCESS.
Description of 1he1Comn and PIa

The coffin OF Her Royal Highness the
late Princess Likelike was completed
last evening, and is fine piece of work
nanship. The body is OF koa, and the
trimmings of kou. No less than 446
pieces OF wood were used in its con-
struction. The whole is highly polished,
and reflects much credit on Mr.. c. {.
Williams, at whose establishment it was
made.
THE PLATE AND GROWN.
Never has a more chaste and artistic
example of the silversnith's art been
seen in this city than the shield and
crown executed by Messrs. Wenner &
Co. to be placed upon the coffin OF the
late Princess Likelike. The design is ap-
propriate, and this, together with the
workmanship, is in every respect worthy
of the important purpose it is intended
to fulfill. The shield is of solid silver ;
in the center at the top is the Hawaiian
coat of arms in colOred enamel and gold
with the motto "Ua mau ka ca ka alma
ka pono'' in raised letters In the CEN
ter OF the arms is the private crest of the
deceased lady, with the motto ''E Hi
Ike kapu" in gold letters on Il black
enamelled ground. Depending on either
side are graceful SPRAYS of gar
denia, Her late Royal Highness'
favorite flower. The leaves and petals
are OF frosted silver and the corollas of
Tho harIaY., loco
effectively urnamented with Hawaiian
fern leaves of frosted silver, whose ele
CANT fronds pass upwards and almost
meet the sprays OF gardenia. The body
of the shield is of a highly polished sur
face, bearing the inscription: cher
Royal Highness Princess Miriam Ke-
kauluohi Keahilapapa Kapii Likelike,
daughter Of Kapaakea and Keohokalole,
and wife of Honorable A. S. CleghOrn.
Born 18th of January, 1851, died I'd of
February, AID. 1887. Aged 80 years
and 20 days.
The crown, which will be placed at
the head of the coffin, as an emblem OF
Royalty, is of silver. The desi4n is
simple, but appropriate. Every detail
OF the work throughout is exquisitely
wrought, and the general effect is SYM
metrical. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. J.
J. Williams photographed the shield and
crown at his studio.
The coffin, with the shield and crown,
may be seen to-day at the store OF Mr..
Williams, Hotel street.
